Kenny im really gonna miss you. You gave me so much advice on using my oxygen and doing exercises to strengthen my lungs. You gave me one of your pulse oxmeter to check my breathing. You were a friend to all who knew you. The seat in front of mine will forever have your name on it. No one can take your place. Sadly missed by. Bo and John Hanley.

Kenny was the main reason we always wanted to have Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners at our house. His prayers and fellowship will be missed greatly.
